This was RAID 1 I believe. It would take 3 drive RAID to overcome this. A backup is the safest way... IMHO.  |
hey admin i think jim is mainly thinking about the drive failing, not corrupting.
ya know jim i have a 1TB external hard drive that i keep a back up image of all my computers on (like 10 computers). after a fresh install of windows and doing all updates plus installing all programs, this way i can always put that fresh copy of windows on any hard drive when it starts to act funny.
